XwingTargetingComp — Targeting computer on a T-65B X-wing starfighter

"Luke, you switched off your targeting computer! What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm all right."

―Yavin Base controller, to Luke Skywalker, not anticipating Skywalker's Force abilities during the Battle of Yavin^[src]

A targeting computer was a device used aboard starfighters to aid pilots in targeting their weapons. A target was considered vulnerable when it was aligned with the electronic crosshairs of a targeting computer's gun-sights. During the Galactic Civil War, the targeting computers used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic indicated the distance in meters.
